Getting H1Z1 tonight but I can't decide on Resident Evil or Life Is Strange.

I want to see gameplay from Life Is Strange. To see how it's really like, and how the time-mechanism works.

??? I thought those with l4d get evolve beta automatically in their steam library? that was what I meant.
oh, I see how we got confused.
Ningen wanted L4D, which you get if you preodered the game (not if you participate in beta), while everybody who have bunch of games or participated in beta, got closed beta, I got it too. I thought we all got it actually

Oddworld: New and Tasty releasing on Steam on February 25th for $20 / £15 / €20 plus 10% preorder discount.

Finally. Still really excited for this game.

Sony systems ver. was priced at $30 on release, so $18 is a good price.
Dunno if I'd get it on Steam, since my brother is the one who usually played it XD.
EDIT: You should prob. make a thread for this BTW, so more people are aware of it.

Excellent, I was hovering over the purchase button on PSN earlier (it's 50% off) but too many other games got announced for Steam shortly after I did that.

I made one.

For people enjoying Hexcells, make sure to check also other great puzzle games on Steam:

Ace more games to wishlist tonight :)

link-a-pix are nice in Puzzle Worlds, that's true.

Also why did you omit some of the best puzzle games on steam? like Puzzle Quest, M&M Clash of Heroes, 10 000 000, Critter Crunch, Peggle, Triple Town, etc. Like not even single one of those is on your list.
Just curious, especially because you badmouthed PQ before! I smell agenda!
Not to mention, your list is void of Letter Quest and Lexica too. Not good enough?

Ace even more games to wishlist tonight :)

We should totally do a Steam Puzzle Game OT. I mean, last time a platform had such many good puzzle games was in the NDS era.

Can you pre-subscribe to a thread that has been created yet ;)

My 10 GAF 2014 GotY list consists of
1 PS3 game
2 PS Vita games
4 PC (played on) games
3 3DS games

This is disregarding Honorable Mentions

Even though my brother is getting a PS4 this year, I think at best maybe 1 game from there would be on my list and that is IF I bother to play on PS4 lol.

Also I just applied for a possible job promotion/position, wish me luck =X

another puzzle fan? add me on steam ;)

If it's left to me, it'll be up next winter at the earliest! but if Knurek will bug me long enough, I'll do my part ... probably (><)

edited: still not sure about Tengami, it says very little how it plays, it sounds interesting, but I don't see any gameplay I would care for. Maybe it's just trailer is bad at representing a game or something.

Yeap :D

i mean i guess it's better to have 30 lock than jumping up and down between 30 and 50 or something

Sure it is. But When ND announced U4 they were saying that they are targeting 1080p/60 and that for some of them after TLoU Remaster 30FPS feels broken. :D Then fans were so happy and praised ND for 60FPS decision, but now fans are saying that 30FPS is fine :D Whole that circle is funny.

IGS deal today is The Last Dogma. I'm somewhat interested in the story, but it being a shooter also kinda kills the purpose of being an adventure game with interesting story. Then again maybe I'm wrong and gameplay won't suck. Still not sure to buy or not to buy or even if it will be greenlit ever.

About time, been waiting far too long for the PC release.

Let's see if they can actually release a proper PC port out of the gate this time.
To be fair, they did sort things out, mostly and later upgraded Stranger to the HD version which is more than some devs care to do. The initial release was in a pretty dire state though. (and despite buying the Oddbox upon its PC release I still haven't fully replayed any of the games it contains...)
 
The physics make it look fun, hah.
Now this is a gamevwhere I would like to see DOA's jiggly physics.

how can anyone not have l4d1
I bought L4D2 in summer after finding out it has all content of L4D1. Why pay extra?
I had loads of fun with U1-3 at 30fps.
If this will make the game look better, I am for it and will surely enjoy my time with U4
after many years when I get a PS4 :(

Fuck. Norwegian retailer Elkjøp has Dying Light PC for 23$20&#8364;.

That's pushing me.

They'll have it for 10&#8364; in four months. After seeing the latest videos it looks like another one of Techland's jankfests. While those were of the PS4 version you can bet your butt that at least the multiplayer will be a mess again no matter the platform.

Let's see if they can actually release a proper PC port out of the gate this time.

Since they're doing it themselves this time and it isn't an old game nobody ever planned a port for I expect fewer problems.
 
Started Alice: Madness Returns

For the third time, maybe this time I'll finish the game.

First time I played, I run into a elevator glitch. Since the game autosaved just after the glitch occured and it only has one save, I was borked.
Second time I played, I did it on my spare Pentium (when my main CPU fried) - game was simply unplayable with the amount of stutter texture streaming and decompression introduced on a 2 thread CPU.
So far reached Hatter's Domain, so still early in the game. It looks absolutely gorgeous, although there's still some stutter while streaming. Weird since I have a 4 thread CPU and am playing from a SSD... :\ Anyone knows how to make the game behave? I didn't change anything other than remove the 30fps lock and ticked the PhysX to medium...

Lock to 30 and turn off physX. Then the game will behave. Sorry.
